OSX equivalent for ~/bin in Linux

When using Ubuntu I can save shell scripts in ~/bin. To launch them I just type the name of the script in the Terminal. Is there an equivalent solution for OSX?


Solution 1:

There is none by default in OSX. But you can make a ~/bin folder, then edit your ~/.profile and add

export PATH=$PATH:/Users/Yourname/bin

(Yourname of course being replaced by your username).

or (edited later according to below comment)

export PATH=$PATH:~/bin
